Expandable rucksack?

[LHRFlightman]

Hi all.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0BXH68ZQP/ref...

I've had one of these for a year or so, it's worked pretty well for business trips of up to 5 days. However, one of the straps has failed so it's time for a replacement. One that lasts longer would be great. Budget up to £125, needs to be a minimum of 40L capacity.

Any recommendations?

Cheers.

To add to my previous - Eagle Creek have a "No matter what" warranty https://www.eaglecreek.com/collections/no-matter-w...

Our No Matter What® Warranty is extended to the original owner of the item and covers all functional aspects of the product for the life of your gear. No matter what happens to your Eagle Creek travel gear along the way, we are here to get you back to your next adventure as soon as possible.

However, they only deliver to US addresses, so you would have to get one from Amazon/Ebay etc. I'm going to get the 110l rolling duffel shipped to my daughter at uni in the USA who will bring it back here over the summer.

I have an Osprey Farpoint 40 plus the Travel Day pack - which attaches to the 40 to bring it up to 55l, and is the basically the same as the Farpoint 55 which comes with the daypack as standard - with a slight config change between the 40l back packs. The 40 is my carry on, the day pack is my personal item.

If they're only £35 and one has lasted over a year and your happy with it why not just buy another? In fact buy 3 which is less than the others suggested so that's a 'guaranteed' +3yrs.

Because a decent backpack isn't expensive and lasts for years.

Also the cheap ones break suddenly, often when you're on a trip where as the better quality ones give signs long before a catastrophic failure.
